I've been feeling really worried because I started shivering and got a high fever just a few hours after my CeCT scan of the thorax. Should I be concerned about this, and is it something that could go away on its own in a day, or is it more serious?

Question

I've got this chest X-ray and I'm really curious about what it shows. Is there something wrong, and should I be worried about anything serious?

I'm really concerned about the CT scan results that show a CT severity score of 2225. Could you please take a look at the report? I'm worried if this means we need to make an urgent appointment at the hospital.

Question

I've had a total of three CT scans so far. The first was a head CT back in 2009 when I was just 15. Then, in 2018, I had two more CT scans at the age of 24one of the whole abdomen without contrast in January and a combined neck, chest, and abdomen CT with contrast in May, just five months apart. I recently learned that having multiple CT scans might increase cancer risk, and its gotten me worried. Am I at high risk because of these scans? I'm not sure what to do now and could really use your advice.
